I’m still here–just catching up after two weeks in Florida to attend to family matters. I ended my trip by driving my mother-in-law from Florida to Pennsylvania this past weekend.

While in Florida, I met my sister for lunch, and she told me she’d seen a purple dress at the thrift store around the corner that would be perfect for me. So we placed our orders at the restaurant and scampered over to the thrift store before the food arrived.

My sister was right! Look what I found for $2.11.

Those are good ol’ princess seams allowing the dress to fit my bust. Plus, it’s a knit fabric. It’s short enough to wear as a tunic with leggings once I own a pair. The brand is Be Bop, and the size is large.

So much for avoiding ruffles and buttons at the chest!
